Commentary

The eponymous priest might be the priest, son of Aristandros, known from IGCyr012400 (see ).

, p. 103 , after , speaks of a dedication to Hekate, about which see commentary at IGCyr020900.

, p. 107 does not seem to give a convincing explanation about syntax and meaning of lines 2-3.

The inscription only tells the origin of the expense made for the monument (for the use of the preposition, see , p. 166 ).
